Udanta Singh Biography

Kumam Udanta Singh is an Indian professional footballer known for his pace and versatility. A product of the Tata Football Academy, he rose through youth,

Early life and background
Kumam Udanta Singh was born on 14 June 1996 in Manipur, India. Raised in a footballing environment and inspired by an uncle who played in the I-League, he cut his teeth playing street football in his home state before moving into organised youth development. At 14 he earned a place at the Tata Football Academy after impressing at trials, and he represented Jharkhand at the 2011 National Games in Ranchi.

While at Tata Football Academy, Udanta featured in a number of national youth competitions and exposure tours. He scored freely on an overseas trip to China in 2013 — including a hat-trick against China’s U‑16 side — and was part of the TFA side that won the 2013–14 U‑19 I‑League, finishing as the competition’s top scorer with nine goals. His performances also earned selections to youth camps and All‑Star events, including an All Asia Nike Camp in Australia and the India U22 national camp in Bengaluru.

Career
Udanta turned professional when he signed for Bengaluru FC on 15 July 2014. He made his competitive debut for the club in the Durand Cup on 30 October 2014, coming off the bench and playing the second half in a 2–1 win over Mohammedan SC. He also appeared as a substitute in the Durand Cup semi‑final and successfully converted a penalty in the shootout.

His I‑League debut came on 31 March 2015 in a 4–1 win over Sporting Goa. In his first I‑League season he made ten appearances for Bengaluru FC and also featured in the AFC Cup, where he scored once in three appearances. On 28 April 2015 he provided the assist that helped Sunil Chhetri score the winner in an AFC Cup group stage match against Maziya, becoming the youngest Indian to register an assist in AFC competition. Several weeks later he scored his first AFC Cup goal against Persipura Jayapura, becoming the youngest Indian goalscorer in the tournament.

Bengaluru rewarded his progress with a two‑year contract extension. He continued to contribute across domestic and continental competitions: during the 2015–2016 I‑League season he scored once in 12 league appearances and played seven times in the AFC Cup. He was part of the Bengaluru teams that won the 2015 I‑League title and the 2015 Federation Cup.

In 2015 Bengaluru arranged a training stint for Udanta at English League Two side Oxford United rather than include him in that year’s ISL draft. He trained under manager Michael Appleton and featured in a friendly against Benfica B as part of the experience.

Udanta’s career over the next seasons saw him deployed in multiple attacking roles — midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger and forward — and he continued to appear in domestic league, cup and AFC Cup fixtures. He was a member of the India U23 squad that won the silver medal at the 2016 South Asian Games in Guwahati. On 24 March 2016 he made his senior India debut, playing the full match away to Iran in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.

During the 2016–17 I‑League season Udanta scored three goals from 17 league appearances and contributed in domestic cup competitions and the AFC Cup. He was part of the Bengaluru FC squad that reached the 2016 AFC Cup final, and he later had a brief loan spell with Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League, appearing once.

Public profile
Known by the nickname “The Flash,” Udanta is recognised for his pace and agility on the wing. He has worn number 15 for the India national team and number 21 for Bengaluru FC. His listed physical profile places him at about 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) tall and around 65 kg (143 lbs), with black hair and black eyes.

His career honours from early years include being named Best Gentleman Cadet at the Tata Football Academy in 2014 and Young Player of the Year at the Football Players Association of India awards in 2016. He has been praised for versatility across multiple attacking positions and for key contributions to Bengaluru FC’s domestic and continental campaigns.

Latest updates
As of 2023, Udanta had spent nine years with Bengaluru FC, with a brief loan to Mumbai City FC during his time at the club. He remains unmarried and continues to be identified with his home state of Manipur and the Indian national setup.
